GINDBR-SHOVBL.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY OONCERN:

Beit known that I, J. E. HIGNUTT, of Denton, in the county of Caroline, and State of Maryland, have i invented a. new and improved Shovel for Removing Cinders from Coal-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying i drawing, which is made a part of this specifica-tion, and which represents a. perspective view of my improved shovel.

The subject of myinvention is @scoop-shaped shovel formed with teeth or bars, and a. vertical or nearly vertical handle, to adapt it to conveniently remove the unconsumed cinders from a. coal-stove or grate.

In the drawing, vA represents the handle, rising in a. vertical or nearly vertical position fromv the b ack, B, from the lower edge of which the teeth GIC C project horizontally, the said teeth being either straight or curved, as may be necessary to adapt the shovel for use with any ofthe customary forms of coal-stoves. D D represent two side pieces, to adopt the utensil to contain a. larger quantity of coal and convey it without spilling.

The form of the handle and other parts may be varied as occasion requires, without departing from theessentiel features of my invention. v

Having.:r thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is The cinder-shovel herein described, construct-ed with vertical l1a.ndle, A, and a' horizontal or nearly horizontal toothed scoop, G D, substantially tts-and for the purpose-set forth.

'Io the above specification of my improved cimler-shovel, I have signed my hand, this ninth day of May, 1867.
